It all depends on the bait fish. Find the shad and you will find the crappie. Then find the closest structure and that's a magnet. Right now I am fishing the deeper ledges or channel breaks that the shad are close too and finding structure that's close. WOOD, ROCKS,INSIDE BEND OF THE CHANNEL, SHALLOW CREEK COMING INTO THE CHANNEL. You are getting the picture. Good electronics plays a very important part for this time of year when it comes to locating the bait fish and crappie. Good Luck and post your results
